What this book is about

When Ella of Frell is given the 'gift' of obedience at birth — forced to obey any direct command — she sets out to find the fairy who cursed her and break the spell before it can be used to destroy the people she loves, including Prince Char. A clever, warm-hearted retelling of Cinderella that celebrates independence and self-determination.
